Corporate/Business Law
Our attorneys have been involved in the planning and formation of business corporations and non-profit corporations, preparation of supporting corporate documentation and continuing corporate advice and representation. We are experienced in handling reorganizations, redemptions, liquidations and all aspects of corporate/shareholder relations. Our attorneys represent closely-held business corporations, and stand ready to assist clients from initial incorporation through final dissolution of the business enterprise.

In addition, our attorneys have handled numerous cases involving the purchase and operation of going businesses, and the financing of such transactions, including: acquisition and asset-based financing of commercial ventures and retail operations; employment matters; drafting of acquisition agreements and general contracts; collection of disputed accounts; and other legal matters involved in the day-to-day operation of a going concern.

Our attorneys also handle personal and commercial loan transactions of all sizes, and are well-versed in the negotiation and drafting of loan documentation. We have represented both borrowers and lenders with respect to real estate mortgage-based financing, matters involving the Uniform Commercial Code and various rights and interests in commercial property, equipment, inventory and other goods, construction loans and other business loan transactions.
